We clean water and the Environment
for life

 

About Us

Access to safe drinking water is a human right. Still million of people around the world do not have access to safe and clean drinking water. In many places, wood is burned to disinfect the contaminated water. Burning wood leads to deforestation, erosion and CO2 emissions. Tusafishe is an initiative installing water purification systems to underprivileged communities, giving access to clean and safe drinking water.

Tusafishe Tree Planting and Tending

Trees will go a long way to help in the fight against climate change. Yet so often tree planting programms do not go beyond planting.

Now you can purchase a tree at $.1 and we shall plant and grow the tree on your behalf for atleast 20 years. Our ambition is to plant 450,000 trees in the next 18 months.

We are Happy to announce our first partner for this project. Sounds of hope International

We are implementing in 5 refugee settlements installation of 90 community scale purification systems, training of 4000 women to install domestic filters and planting of 10,000 moringa tree.
